GRANT — Family and friends of Shay Atwood, who died March 20 from injuries sustained from an all terrain vehicle accident, are asking for the community's help.

The 10-year-old Grant boy suffered a severed artery in the accident last August. He struggled through months of surgeries and therapy sessions to address massive internal injuries before he died.

The Atwood family now is struggling to pay for medical expenses incurred over the time the boy was hospitalized, as well as funeral expenses. Family and friends hope a benefit pig roast brings in enough donations to cover those expenses.

The event is slated for 4-8 p.m. April 25 at the Grant Community Building, 105 S. Front in Grant. There will be a raffle, door prizes, face painting and a bake sale, according to family.
